Sly Fox; directed by Mike Ricci
This updated treatment of the Ben Johnson classic 'Volpone' moves the action to 1890's San Francisco, where the Sly Fox is still swindling gold from those who least suspect it. Written by the great Larry Gelbart (of MASH fame), it comes from the era before political correctness, the MeToo movement, and woke politics, so it may strike some as being out of touch with modern sensibilities. However, taken as a comment on the insatiable greed of some people, it remains a fascinating farce on this human failing. With Brendan Berthold as Sly, and Joe Galatz as Simon Able. Set, sound design and direction by Mike Ricci.

    I grew up in Indianapolis in the 1960s, when the only baseball game we ever saw on TV was the CBS Game of the Week. The Yankees were on the GOW at least twice a month, so in the absence of major league baseball in Indy, I adopted the Yankees. Mickey was my hero. And despite all that has been revealed about him since, he is still my favorite player of all time. He was a joy to watch. I jumped ship in the Yanks when the AL adopted the DH (and when WGN began broadcasting nationally). I have been a Cubs fan for almost 50 years, but no player has ever meant as much to me as Mickey did.

In my humble opinion "The Mick" was simply the greatest all around player in MLB history..................AND the most loved player by true fans. I saw him hit a homer into the right field bleachers at Old Yankee Stadium. That was 1964............I was 12 years old. Mickey sure made THIS little boy happy!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

    As a twelve year old, my dad took me to the 1963 World Series, game 4. With Koufax pitching, it was going to be a tough game for New York. But my hero was Mickey Mantle and I was yelling for him to hit a home run each time he came up. But sitting in the Dodgers side of the field, fans would turn around and yell at me to shut up and my dad thought we might get killed. But with the Dodgers safely ahead and Koufax pitching, we were safe for Mantle to hit one out and he did. Years later, I got to have lunch with my dad and Mantle in a little place in Oklahoma. I told him my story and we all laughed! Mickey would always be my hero in baseball but my dad will always be that for me!

    • @mikericci5786
      @mikericci5786 9 місяців тому

      None of the actors played the keyboard. A piano coach taught them the fingering necessary to look like they were playing, and I staged them so the audience never actually saw the keyboard. Incidentally, the keyboard was outfitted with a remote controlled speaker system that allowed the music to come directly from the keyboard.

    • @mikericci5786
      @mikericci5786 5 місяців тому

      None of the actors actually played the keyboard. There were speakers and a radio controlled receiver built into the keyboard -- all of the music was sent to the keyboard via the computer in the control booth. The actors worked with a piano teacher who taught them the correct fingering necessary for each piece of music. The script is unique, in that I merged three different versions into one. Act Two features Mozart dictating his Requiem to Salieri as he is dying, exactly as it was done in the film version. It was quite difficult to reproduce, but it worked amazingly well on stage.

    Didn't Mantle go to the Yankees spring training camp in March 1969 and decide after he got there that his body couldn't take any more? I know that he didn't announce his retirement until March 1969. I don't know if it was absolutely positively set in stone in that game against the Red Sox in September 1968 that Mantle wasn't coming back.
